Concept
The Federal Institute for Vocational Education and Training’s hidden object picture uses a playful method to make the transition from school to working life easier for young people. In the fictitious city of zynd-City, which is depicted in this hidden object picture, topics such as job applications, training, studying and other important steps on the way to working life are conveyed in an entertaining way. Players are asked to find certain objects and solve puzzles that are closely linked to these topics.
This hidden object game goes beyond a simple search game; it serves as an interactive learning tool that conveys complex information in an accessible and engaging way. The combination of visual stimuli and active tasks not only informs young people, but also encourages them to engage intensively with the content.
They are supported by Zynd-3-Rella, a fictional character who gives the players valuable tips and guides them through the various themed worlds of the city. This character acts as a mentor and advisor, helping the players to make the right decisions and navigate the complex world of transitioning from school to working life. The aim of this approach is to make the learning process informative as well as fun and interactive, so that the content is remembered in the long term.
